Chapter 16 Chapter Fifteen

Huo Xiaoxie was excited for a while, but calmed down instead. For him, now does not mean that he has succeeded.Although Huo Xiaoxie specializes in petty theft in Fengtian City, he has never handled any earth-shattering major cases, but he understands the truth of the phrase "failure is on the verge of success", sometimes hope is right in front of him, as if a When you can reach it with your hands, it is the most dangerous moment in the whole plan.Huo Xiaoxie has already succeeded in stealing someone's wallet, that "horse" got itchy for some reason, turned his hand and scratched it, and was holding Huo Xiaoxie's neck, grabbing Huo Xiaoxie!Then have a good fight!The scar on Huo Xiaoxie's face was left at that time.

Huo Xiaoxie calmed down and looked at the wall carefully.Although it was indeed dug through, as Yan Jingtian said, only a small hole was opened, and the walls around the small hole are still very thick. If you call Yan Jingtian and the others to escape rashly, even if you kick them hard together, you will definitely not be able to kick the hole out. It can be a size that can be drilled by a person. With great care, Huo Xiaoxie picked up a wooden stick that was burning red at one end but had no flames, and it took another half an hour to scrape away the surrounding area of ​​the small hole.The water demon also came over and helped Huo Xiaoxie to scrape the hard wall until he felt that the wall was thin enough, then the water demon took out a sharp knife and slowly made holes in the four corners, the knife could pass through quickly.Shui Yaoer drilled another seven or eight holes, then nodded to Huo Xiaoxie, and said in a low voice: "Stay back, I'll call Brother Yan and the others." Shui Yaoer stirred in the middle hole with a knife , Pushed away the oil and dirt, blocked it with the back of the knife, and revealed a small hole.

Yan Jingtian and the others looked at the back window, all of them were very anxious. This half hour seemed as long as a year. Yan Shouzhen wanted to get up several times, but Yan Jingtian firmly held him down.Thanks to people like Yan Jingtian, if they are all impatient like Yan Shouzhen, they will definitely get up and attack when they see Huo Xiaoxie's first knife through. Huo Xiaoxie and Water Yaoer.Some "wangzi" (referring to stolen things) to be stolen have their own characteristics, such as rare birds that will scream and call the police. If you do not grasp this characteristic well in advance, the success or failure of stealing , Sometimes it is in the "Wangzi" itself, and it is not a thief's skill.In the art of thieves, this situation is also called "double stealing".

Yan Jingtian suddenly heard a very subtle voice, and his ears perked up, only to hear the water monster speak slowly and slowly: "It is... I... Shui... Yao... Tong... ...up...on...forward...kick...hear...do you...?" This kind of speech, which is word by word, is called "chaotic speech" in the art of thieves. A kind of language is a way of communicating in a closed and quiet room under surveillance without being able to see each other. It must follow the breath of the person and speak slowly, prolonging the sound as much as possible. People who listen carefully, even if they hear it, they think it is indifferent noise.This method is closely related to the human body's hearing habits, so we will not delve into the cause.

Yan Jingtian heard it completely and sincerely, and saw a little light shining through the small hole, knowing that everything was safe, he coughed a few times, and replied in between: "Okay! Wait a moment!" The way of whispering is called "rolling in the ring", that is, when you make irrelevant and itchy sounds, such as violent coughing, you include what you want to say.This way of speaking is more difficult than "chaotic speaking", and it is also difficult to understand. People from the five great families are proficient in all kinds of thief language, and they can understand each other.

Huo Xiaoxie didn't understand Shui Yaoer's "Chaos Talk" and Yan Jingtian's "Rolling in the Ring", and was scratching his head, Shui Yaoer turned around and whispered to Huo Xiaoxie: "Let's step back and leave room, Brother Yan and the others They are already connected to us, waiting for them to open the hole." The two hurried out of the hole, retreated into the tunnel, and dimmed the lights. Yan Jingtian made several gestures to Yan Shouzhen, Yan Shouren, and Yan Shouyi, and added the words in a low voice, the complete meaning was: "Listen to my order, Shouzhen, you go kick the wall, Shouren, you and Shouyi Cover up, kick the wall and follow closely, I will be in the rear."

Yan Jingtian looked up at the top of the pit, and a inspector walked slowly with a torch, looking down at the bottom of the pit.Yan Jingtian watched the man's actions, and pointed to the rear window twice!Yan Shouzhen's figure was really moving like a rabbit, and he didn't see how he jumped up from the ground, but he saw a figure flickering, and he had already reached the back window. Yan Shouzhen looked back, and Yan Jingtian suddenly coughed violently. With the sound of coughing and the bang of two feet, the opening of the cave was kicked open. The wall was not broken, but almost a whole piece, and fell into the cave.Yan Shouzhen secretly praised: "Thoughtful thinking!" With a flash of his body, like an arrow, he plunged into the hole and disappeared.

The inspecting Wan Gouzi looked down, Yan Jingtian was standing and coughing, and at the same time he threw away the large brick in his hand, and the ground was smashed with a muffled sound to cover up the sound of Yan Shouzhen kicking the hole.Wan Gouzi yelled: "What are you doing! Be honest!" Yan Jingtian raised his head and scolded: "Sitting here all night, I'm so bored to death! Can't you move around?" He kicked a brick beside his feet away. Wan Gouzi took a look and didn't pay attention to whether there were three or four people below, so he cursed: "Be honest! Don't move around! Do you hear me?"

Yan Jingtian snorted and sat down.Wan Gouzi cursed and continued to circle the pit. Yan Jingtian pointed, and Yan Shouren supported Yan Shouyi to drill towards the entrance of the cave. Even though Yan Shouyi broke a leg, the two of them walked quickly with three legs!Yan Jingtian also got up quietly, and followed Yan Shouren, the three of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave, Yan Shouyi was the first, Yan Shouren was the second, Yan Jingtian was the third, the Huo family were extremely agile, they didn't need to adjust their body shape at all, just like a loach burrowing into a hole Ordinarily, with a flick of the body, they disappear without a trace!

Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer met Yan Jingtian and the others in the tunnel, and everyone was so sad to see each other again!Huo Xiaoxie was blackened by the smoke, she couldn't see her expression, but her eye circles were red, and she only called Brother Yan in a low voice, but was speechless.The people didn't talk to each other, they showed each other with their eyes, Shui Yaoer led everyone, and walked quickly to the entrance and exit of the back kitchen, of course, he didn't forget to take the treasurer Qian away. Wan Gouzi on the pit shrank his neck, yawned, and was still walking slowly around the pit.In the early spring season in Northeast China, it is especially cold in the light of day. It is so cold that people's reactions will be numb.Wan Gouzi muttered: "I always do these thankless things, mother, those trash at the bottom of the pit, if they want to run away, they would have already run away! And patrol!" Wan Gouzi cursed, but the patrol It was his responsibility to let him look down, but he couldn't see anyone through the hole.

Wan Gouzi was sleepy and tired, and muttered: "Oh, it's gone." He raised his head and wanted to continue walking, but suddenly a reaction came to his mind, his eyes widened, and he quickly lowered his head to take a closer look. Is there anyone here?Wan Gouzi trembled all over, and ran a few steps around the pit, looked from several corners, but still couldn't see anyone.Wan Gouzi was so frightened that his tongue couldn't move. After a few sounds, he finally roared: "Man, where is man? Boss Zheng! Boss Zheng! Man! He's gone!" Zheng Dachuan, Liuxingdao, and Zhao Yanqiang were all drowsy outside.When Zheng Dachuan heard Wan Gouzi yelling that he was gone, he stood up in a jerk, and cursed: "Damn it! Have you looked carefully!" Wan Gouzi almost cried out, saying, "Really, really gone!" Zheng Dachuan yelled: "Trash!" He got up and ran to the edge of the pit. Liu Xingdao, Zhao Yanqiang and a group of people also woke up in shock and followed Zheng Dachuan to the edge of the pit. The room at the bottom of the pit was brightly illuminated. Zheng Dachuan's veins were throbbing, he stomped his feet anxiously, yelled, pointed at Wan Gouzi and scolded: "Wan Gouzi! I want your life!" Wan Gouzi trembled in fright, fell to his knees, and shouted, "Boss Zheng, I really don't know what's going on!" Zheng Dachuan continued to curse: "Wan Gouzi, jump down and look for me! If you can't find any trace, I will kill you immediately!" Wan Gouzi cried, "Boss Zheng! Please spare me!" Liu Xingdao rushed over one step at a time, twisted Wan Gouzi, and was about to push him into the pit. In the dark place far away, someone shouted loudly: "Don't look for it, we are here!" Zheng Dachuan was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Yan Jingtian and others slowly coming out from the dark. Zheng Dachuan's crowd turned pale with fright, they didn't care about any dogs, they turned around to touch their guns in a panic, but they didn't know that at the moment they lowered their heads, two figures rushed into the crowd from nowhere, like wandering Like fish, they slithered around the gaps between people. Before they could react, they felt that their hands were empty and the guns on their backs had disappeared. The crowd dropped their guns, and then they all shouted, but the two figures had already emerged from the crowd with their guns in their hands, and ran back to Yan Jingtian's side, throwing seven or eight long guns on the ground with a bang.Looking carefully, the bolts of the guns have been pulled out. Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouren clapped their hands and gathered around Yan Jingtian. Yan Shouzhen laughed and said, "With your skills, stealing your guns is as easy as picking up things." Yan Jingtian smiled in satisfaction, and looked up at Zheng Dachuan They said, "Brother Zheng, what do you want now? Do you want to do a few more tricks?" Zheng Dachuan and Liu Xingdao were holding short guns, but they were not removed.Liuxingdao was furious, shouted, and raised his gun to shoot, but Zheng Dachuan pulled his hand and stopped Liuxingdao.At this time, Zheng Dachuan's face was ashen, and he said to Liu Xingdao: "It's useless, you have never seen how powerful they are, and we are not their opponents at all. If you anger them, you will be in trouble." Liu Xingdao came late, and indeed he had never seen how powerful Yan Jingtian and the others were, and because of face, Zheng Dachuan didn't tell Liu Xingdao about his experience of being beaten up by Yan Jingtian and the others in the lobby.Liu Xingdao said in a muffled voice: "Boss Zheng, I want to see what they can do!" Zheng Dachuan said angrily: "Don't do bad things! You want to die! Give me the gun!" As he spoke, he grabbed the gun in Liu Xingdao's hand and snatched it away. Liuxingdao was taken aback, but his mouth was still firm: "Boss Zheng, we can't admit defeat. We have so many people, how many of them are we afraid of?" Zhao Yanqiang quickly pulled Liuxingdao, and said in a low voice: "Liuxingdao , we are really not their opponents." Zheng Dachuan ignored them, put his two guns together, and threw all the short guns in front of Yan Jingtian with all his strength, clasped his fists with a dejected expression, and said: "Brothers from the Yan family! This is what happened, we also There is nothing to say! I just ask a few brothers and adults to let us live without counting the faults of villains." Yan Shouzhen scolded: "Now you're cowardly again? I can spare your dog's life! Just kowtow three times to grandpa!" Liuxingdao pulled out his waist knife and cursed: "Too much bullying! I'll kill you!" Liuxingdao jumped out of the crowd with great strength, Zhao Yanqiang and Zheng Dachuan didn't hold back, and let him charge straight with the knife.Yan Shouzhen laughed loudly: "Good job!" With a shake of his body, he was about to rush out. "Pa, pa" two crisp sounds, Liu Xingdao oops, fell to the ground, covered his face and rolled all over the ground in pain.Yan Shouren showed his palm, pointed at Zheng Dachuan and the others with his palm cannon, and shouted, "Good job! Is anyone else coming?" Just now Yan Shouren hit two iron broad beans, one hit Liuxingdao's nose, and the other hit Liu Xingdao's nose. I couldn't bear the sore and painful force of hitting his eyes. Yan Shouzhen stopped his figure, and muttered: "Yan Shouren, you are so troublesome, I am so bored and panicked!" Yan Jingtian clasped his fists at Zheng Dachuan, and said, "Brothers across the street, we are away from home, and we don't want to cause more trouble! Now that you are all in charge, I hope you brothers, make room for us, and we will leave quickly. ! If there are still unconvinced, we can compete now!" After saying this, Yan Jingtian's eyes shone brightly, and he glanced at Zheng Dachuan and the others. Looking at Yan Jingtian's eyes, who would dare to jump out and make trouble? Zheng Dachuan said repeatedly: "Offended, offended! Thank you brothers! Thank you!" Yan Jingtian snorted, and led the crowd forward, the crowd on Zheng Dachuan's side retreated, and no one dared to speak. When Yan Jingtian walked to the stable, Shui Yaoer, Huo Xiaoxie, and Yan Shouyi led the horses and stood up. It turned out that they had come to the stable when Yan Jingtian and Zheng Dachuan were talking, and untied all the horses. Yan Jingtian was about to get on the horse together, but Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer were still on the same horse.Someone in the stables shouted: "Several heroes, please take me out of this place, leave me here, my life is in danger!" This is none other than the hapless shopkeeper Qian, who is now tied to the stable with his hands on stakes. Shui Yaoer shouted: "Didn't you say you want to fight Zheng Dachuan to the death? Isn't this a chance?" Shopkeeper Qian cried out desperately: "Heroes, you can't leave your life alone! I was infatuated with you for a while, but I was also ordered by Fourth Master Zhang, not because I've cheated on you! Help, hero!" Jia Chunzi also rolled out of the hay pile like a big insect, rolling and tossing on the ground, whining and screaming. Shopkeeper Qian cried miserably: "Jia Chunzi, it's not your uncle that I don't save you, it's the heroes who don't want to save you! Jia Chunzi, your life and mine are so miserable! After being tormented by Mr. Zhang for ten years, The inn that was painstakingly managed also disappeared in the blink of an eye, but nothing was obtained, and the lives of your brother and us were lost for no reason! We are wronged!" Shopkeeper Qian was crying like he was heartbroken. First of all, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't take it anymore. He was most afraid of seeing this kind of scene, so he couldn't help saying to Yan Jingtian: "Brother Yan, let's take them for a while." Yan Jingtian frowned, but nodded and said: "Since you are the one who begged for mercy, let's take them for a while! Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouren, let them both ride a horse and walk with us for a while!" Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouren complied, untied Shopkeeper Qian and Jia Chunzi respectively, and ordered them to get on their horses quickly. Jia Chunzi also couldn't figure out what was going on. Hearing the yelling from shopkeeper Qian, the two of them got on a horse each. Yan Jingtian clenched his fists at Zheng Dachuan and the others who were still standing in the yard, and shouted: "Brothers, there will be a period later!" As he spoke, he clamped his horse's belly and sang, the group galloped out with all the horses, and ran away in a blink of an eye. It's far away! Zheng Dachuan, Zhao Yanqiang and others stood blankly, speechless for a while. Zhao Yanqiang scolded in a daze: "These gangsters don't leave us a single horse! They are too ruthless!" Zheng Dachuan took off his hat, slapped his bald head violently, stomped his feet and cursed: "The sky will be dawn soon! Fourth Master Zhang will come! The ducks in their mouths can fly!" Zheng Dachuan kept cursing, there was a flash of light on the top of the mountain in the distance, a round of red sun emerged, and thousands of rays of light swayed down in an instant, illuminating the Luoma Inn! Seeing the sunlight, Zheng Dachuan hated himself so much that he squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and sighed. Zhao Yanqiang shouted suddenly: "Boss Zheng! Someone is here!" Zheng Dachuan looked up, and saw at the end of the road, a mass of people and horses, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky, swarming towards the Luoma Inn!The tall horse at the head sat on the ninth-generation heir of Yufeng Shenzhang, Zhang Siye!On both sides of Zhang Siye's horse, there were three giant leopard dogs running, and they also roared earth-shatteringly! A large number of Zhang Siye's men and horses poured into the courtyard of the Luoma Inn, and jumped off the horses in an orderly manner without any disorder. The three leopard dogs came to a stop in front of Zheng Dachuan and the others, whining and growling, with fierce eyes, waiting for Fourth Master Zhang's order to rush and bite.Zheng Dachuan and the others were startled when they saw how powerful Zhang Siye's team was, and when they saw such vicious beasts as leopards and dogs, they all turned pale and huddled together in fright. Zheng Dachuan yelled: "Master Zhang, it's me, it's me, Zheng Dachuan!" Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Chews, step back!" The three leopard dogs listened, and retreated obediently, but still stared at Zheng Dachuan and the others and growled.The hook soldiers listened to Mr. Zhou's order, ran past Zheng Dachuan and the others in unison, gathered by the pit, took the three-claw hook, and carefully looked at the bottom of the pit. Fourth Master Zhang stepped forward quickly and scolded: "Zheng Dachuan, why is it you! Where is the person! Where is the treasurer Qian?" Zheng Dachuan's voice trembled when he spoke: "Zhang, Fourth Master Zhang, it's no wonder I, no wonder I, man, man ran away..." Fourth Master Zhang opened his eyes fiercely: "What! He ran away?" Zheng Dachuan timidly said: "Originally, originally, they were trapped under the pit, and we have been guarding above, waiting for Fourth Master Zhang to come. Who knows, they, they don't know what method! Run, run out! Just, just..." Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "I know you guys are nothing but useless things! Trash! Trash! Killing elephants in giant pits and locking houses in iron cages can make people run away!! Call the treasurer Qian! What about other people!" Zheng Dachuan hurriedly complained: "Well, that treasurer Qian ran away with them! I think, I think it was the treasurer Qian who let them out!" Zheng Dachuan was very good at planting. "Fart!" Fourth Master Zhang yelled, "Zheng Dachuan, do you still think about it! I know a hundred times better than you about the virtues of Shopkeeper Qian!" Zheng Dachuan's face was ashen, and he hurriedly said: "Zhang Siye, I guessed it, I guessed it. Shopkeeper Qian did leave with them. I really don't know what happened between them." Mr. Zhou rushed to report: "Master Zhang, he is indeed gone! If you read correctly, there is a hole in the back window of the house at the bottom of the pit. It is very likely that someone worked from the inside out and drilled a hole from the ground to get through it." Pit wall, let people out." Fourth Master Zhang murmured: "They actually have this ability! They can save people from the giant pit of Shopkeeper Qian!" Zheng Dachuan felt a chill in his heart, and thought to himself: "Mom, I was frozen all night, why didn't I notice that there are still people digging holes in the ground! If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have done black hands to the money shopkeeper." Fourth Master Zhang pointed to Zheng Dachuan and asked, "Let me ask you! How many people did they have, what did they look like, and where did they go?" Zheng Dachuan quickly replied: "Six people, six people, there are four adults, wearing the same dark black gown, the first one is in his thirties, with a long square face and short hair, the other three, there is one Swearing, one in his twenties, and one with a face like a wood carving. We caught four of them, but the other two didn’t, and they ran away together.” Fourth Master Zhang snorted, "There are two more?" Zheng Dachuan said: "There are two more people, I can't see clearly, one of them seems to be a half-grown man with a dark face, and the other looks like a little girl. They are riding horses, and the shopkeeper Qian is also with them. went south." Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou exchanged glances and nodded.Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Get on the horse, let's chase south!" The hook soldiers obeyed the order, retreated neatly, and got on their horses. Zheng Dachuan tremblingly said: "Master Zhang, are we also chasing after you?" Fourth Master Zhang got on his horse and cursed: "You trash! Just stay here and die!" Zheng Dachuan responded: "Okay, okay! Fourth Master Zhang, go slowly! Fourth Master Zhang, go slowly!" Fourth Master Zhang snorted, ignored Zheng Dachuan, pulled the reins, and led the Hook Soldier and the Leopard Dog rumbling out of the yard like a gust of wind, away in the dust. Zheng Dachuan froze on the spot, touched his bald head, and said in a trembling voice: "It really is Mr. Zhang, how majestic!" Zhao Yanqian squeezed to Zheng Dachuan's side, and muttered: "Boss Zheng, even if we didn't keep track of them, we at least found their traces. Why should Mr. Zhang reward us! Boss Zheng, have you forgotten?" About rewards?" Zheng Dachuan was furious, and slapped Zhao Yanqiang hard with a round slap, cursing: "Money, money, your mother's money! Fourth Master Zhang didn't kill us, so we are lucky!" Zhao Yanqiang covered his head and jumped away, angrily said: "Boss Zheng, I am also thinking of everyone! Not only did people steal our horses, but also killed two brothers. You said that our trip is considered a success." What's the matter! We've lost everything!" Zheng Dachuan's veins were throbbing, he pulled out the knife, pointed at Zhao Yanqiang and cursed: "Zhao Yanqiang, if you don't accept it, I will kill you right now!" Zhao Yanqiang's confusion also flared up, and he shouted: "Come on, slaughter! I lost all the underpants you paid for! I think you only have the ability to slaughter your own brother!" Everyone saw that it was not good, and stepped forward to hold Zheng Dachuan and Zhao Yanqiang, Zheng Dachuan yelled: "Zhao Yanqiang, I only have this ability, if you don't accept it, I will chop you up!" Just as these bastards were making a fuss, a group of tall horses ran into the yard, and a hook soldier in blue sat on it, shouting loudly: "Zheng Dachuan, Fourth Master Zhang rewards you with money!" Zheng Dachuan and the others were stunned for a moment. Zheng Dachuan blinked his eyes and asked, "Fourth Master Zhang, the money rewarded by Fourth Master Zhang?" The blue-clothed hook soldier immediately shouted: "Master Zhang has always been very clear about rewards and punishments, and he keeps his word! Although you didn't catch the person Zhang Siye wanted, you still have some credit, and this is your reward!" Throw it in front of Zheng Dachuan. Zheng Dachuan immediately smiled, picked it up quickly, weighed it, and heard the sound seemed to be gold bars. He was even more happy, and replied loudly: "We must remember the goodness of Fourth Master Zhang! What orders does Fourth Master Zhang have?" , we must do it with our lives! We will not hesitate! We will not hesitate!" The hook soldier shouted: "Master Zhang has another order for me to deliver to you, listen carefully!" Zheng Dachuan smiled all over his face: "Brother, please tell me!" The hook soldier shouted: "Zhang Siye said, all of you, including you Zheng Dachuan, are not allowed to mess around in the Northeast from now on! If you see you in the Northeast again, you will kill each other!" Zheng Dachuan couldn't close his mouth when he heard this, his face was still smiling, but it suddenly turned into a bitter face, and he said sadly: "Brother, this, this... what's going on!" The Hook Soldier snorted coldly, and cursed: "You just have to remember it!" He pulled the reins as he spoke, and ran southwards in pursuit of Fourth Master Zhang's team. Zheng Dachuan was holding the money bag, dumbfounded, Zhao Yanqiang also squeezed over with a sad face, and asked: "Boss Zheng, what shall we do, we split up the money?" Zheng Dachuan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and suddenly shouted fiercely: "Damn, if you don't hang out in the Northeast, you don't hang out in the Northeast! Brothers, we also leave the customs and go to the valleys in the Central Plains to be the king of the mountain! Willing!" If you follow me, we will share the blessings! We will share the hardships! If you don’t want to go, I will give An’s family money to live!” Everyone was stunned, but no one spoke.Liu Xingdao covered his eyes, stood beside Zheng Dachuan, and said, "Boss Zheng, I'll go with you! I've long wanted to be a bandit, drinking and eating meat!" Zhao Yanqiang thought about it for a while, and then shouted: "I'm going too! The Northeast region is already fucking boring! Boss Zheng, I said something harsh to you just now, so just treat it as a bad fart." Don't take it to heart!" When these two people expressed their views, the others all agreed at once, shaking their fists and shouting: "Be a bandit! Be a bandit! Drink and eat meat! Drink and eat meat!" Show your skills early! Zheng Dachuan shouted: "Okay! Brothers! Let's go now! There are a lot of beautiful girls in the Central Plains waiting for us to ride, and gold and silver treasures everywhere are waiting for us to grab! Grandma's, my father Zheng Dachuan , being a grandson in the Northeast is also boring! I don’t believe that I can’t live like a human being!” The crowd shouted and rejoiced!More than ten people followed Zheng Dachuan out of the Luoma Inn, and also headed south.Zhang Siye made a mistake and forced Zheng Dachuan to leave the Northeast to become a bandit, which instead made Zheng Dachuan famous for the rest of his life! The fate of all living beings in this world is really changing rapidly and unpredictable, often with a single thought, the world changes and the stars move. Looking back at the past, it makes people feel sad and regret what happened at the beginning.But for one's own future destiny, who can guess and grasp it accurately?As a result, most people are at a loss about the future and drift with the tide.But there are still very few people who clearly know what to do, just like the current one - Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie and the others galloped wildly, and ran south for more than ten miles without stopping, until they stopped in an open field. Yan Jingtian jumped off the horse, leaned down on the ground, listened to the movement, and said: "Zhang Si and the others are coming in large numbers." Yan Shouzhen shouted: "Grandma, it's a good time to come! Master Yan, we've been hiding all the way, so don't hide! We're going to die of aggrieved!" Yan Jingtian's eyes were sharp, he looked into the distance and said, "That's exactly what I mean!" Yan Shouzhen was taken aback for a moment, and said in shock: "Master Yan, have you changed your mind?" Yan Shouren said nervously, "But Fire King ordered..." Yan Jingtian raised his hand, interrupted Yan Shouren's words, and said, "Needless to say, I know! Even though Fire King repeatedly ordered us to go and return quickly, don't make any publicity along the way, and we must never conflict with people like Zhang Si. But we lost miserably at the Luoma Inn. If it wasn’t for Shui Yao’er and Huo Xiaoxie, we might have been captured by Zhang Si alive. Being chased by them like this would be a waste of time! If it spread, it would ruin my Huo family’s reputation! Hmph Hmph! I've heard about Zhang Si's hook array and leopard dogs for a long time, so I'd like to meet them for a while and compete! Let Zhang Si also understand that the thieves in the world are not just caught by him!" Yan Shouzhen shouted: "Listen to Master Yan!" He was gearing up, extremely excited. Both Yan Shouren and Yan Shouyi nodded in agreement. Shui Yao'er and Huo Xiaoxie dismounted, and Shui Yao'er was also elated when she heard that Yan Jingtian had decided to compete with Zhang Siyi.But Huo Xiaoxie lowered his head, appearing preoccupied. Yan Jingtian didn't care about everyone's expressions, and said: "Okay! I will take all the responsibilities for this matter, everyone let it go! Set up fire cones and wait for Zhang Si and the others to come! Dao is one foot tall and devil is ten feet high. Let them see how powerful the Huo family's thief technique is!" Yan Shouzhen and the others yelled in unison, and spread out to survey the terrain. Yan Jingtian turned his head to Shui Yaoer and Huo Xiaoxie and said: "Thank you both this time! Shui Yaoer, Huo Xiaoxie, it will be very dangerous for us to compete with Zhang Si here. It is inconvenient for you to stay here. Let's take a step first. Go south for a hundred miles, it should be Lianghe Town, you can wait for us to come back in the town. If there is anything wrong, please go straight to Shanxi, we will get rid of Zhang Si, and we will see you again when we have a chance." Shui Yaoer stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Brother Yan is worried that we will cause you trouble if we are with you!" Yan Jingtian waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I mean, Zhang Si is too arrogant. I'll clean him up. You guys go first. That's better. Well, how should I say this..." Yan Jingtian dealt with the water demon. Such a poor-mouthed girl is the most stupid. Shui Yaoer smiled and said: "Okay, I know Brother Yan is doing it for our own good. However, I think Zhang Si is definitely not your opponent, Brother Yan, so I will stay here and watch the show. After all, the one who stole Zhang Si's things is I, Zhang Si wanted to arrest me, so I just left, isn’t it too unjust?” Shui Yaoer glanced at Huo Xiaoxie, “Monkey, are you right? Let’s stay here too.” Huo Xiaoxie's face was heavy, and after hearing Shui Yao'er's question, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Shui Yao'er, Brother Yan, I, I want to go..." Shui Yaoer originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard Huo Xiaoxie's words, her face suddenly changed, and she said coldly: "Huo Xiaoxie, are you afraid? That's all you have to do? I'm afraid Brother Yan and the others are not from Zhang Si. opponent?" Huo Xiaoxie waved his hands again and again, and said, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm thinking of my little brothers who are still imprisoned in Fengtian City, their lives and deaths are uncertain, I want to go back and rescue them..." Yan Jingtian was quite surprised when he heard Huo Xiaoxie say that he wanted to leave, but after Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking, he nodded appreciatively: "Huo Xiaoxie, you are indeed a man! You are so loyal! I, Yan Jingtian, and the other four Personally, I owe you a favor!" The water monster approached Huo Xiaoxie's ear with a frosty face, and said in a low voice: "Huo Xiaoxie, you idiot! With us, what skills can't you learn? What world can't you see? You want to Think it through!" Huo Xiaoxie still said: "I can't go with you, I want to go back to Fengtian and save my brother. I've already decided!" The water monster scolded: "You idiot, I think you can only be a thief with five bells in your life! Get out, get out! I'll give you my life, save your brothers." Huo Xiaoxie looked at Shui Yao'er calmly, and said, "Without your means, I would not have been able to kill my old brother Guan Gun. But you saved my life after all! Thank you very much!" Yao'er was taken aback for a moment, then snorted coldly, turned her head and walked away, unwilling to talk to Huo Xiaoxie again. Yan Jingtian saw that Shui Yao'er and Huo Xiaoxie were about to get into a stalemate, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother Huo Xiaoxie, I understand your intentions, but it's really dangerous for you to go back to Fengtian alone. Have you really thought about it? Don't be too righteous." Huo Xiaoxie smiled at Yan Jingtian, and said, "Brother Yan, I have really made up my mind, life and death. Thank you, Brother Yan, for taking care of me along the way." Yan Shouzhen and the three of them heard Huo Xiaoxie's words, and when they gathered together, they all heard that Huo Xiaoxie had made up his mind to go, so their expressions were complicated.Yan Shouzhen looked serious, and said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you are a good person, I recognize you as a brother!" Yan Shouren also said: "Huo Xiaoxie, then you have to take care of yourself." Yan Shouyi bowed his head in silence, took out a piece of gold leaf from his bosom, and stuffed it into Huo Xiaoxie's bosom desperately. Yan Jingtian took off the water bag and dry food from the horse's back, handed it to Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Brother Huo Xiaoxie, take care all the way, we will meet later. Get off the roadside and go west first, and we will erase your whereabouts." Go, don't worry!" On the contrary, Huo Xiaoxie was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, looked at the gold leaf in his hand, and said, "Oh, this is the first time in my life that I have so much money! I'm not welcome! By the way, Brother Yan, I There is one more thing to ask." Yan Jingtian hurriedly said, "Say it!" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Well, your rope is still tied to my feet, can you untie it?" Yan Jingtian coughed and said, "I forgot! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yan Jingtian bent down, rubbed his hands together, and untied the bezoar rope on Huo Xiaoxie's ankle, and put it away. Huo Xiaoxie took the water bag and dry food, carefully put the gold leaf in his arms, hugged Yan Jingtian and the others, and said, "Then I'm leaving! Brother Yan, take care!" Yan Jingtian and the others also clasped their fists and watched Huo Xiaoxie leave. Huo Xiaoxie turned her head to look at Shui Yaoer, who turned her back and stood far away, not looking at Huo Xiaoxie at all.Huo Xiaoxie had no choice but to yell softly: "Shui Yaoer, there will be a later date." After speaking, he turned his head, came down from the main road, climbed up the hillside, waved his hand down the hill, and still saw the water monster's back. Standing upright, he couldn't help sighing softly, turned around and walked away, and he was no longer seen. As soon as Huo Xiaoxie disappeared, Shui Yaoer turned around slowly, glanced at the hillside, and Huo Xiaoxie was no longer there.The water monster didn't show the slightest expression, she just blinked her eyes.Shui Yaoer turned her head to look in the direction of Fengtian City, standing silently like a wooden man, looking into the distance. Shopkeeper Qian and Jia Chunzi stayed on the side all the time, both startled and frightened. Seeing that Huo Xiaoxie had left, they ran to Yan Jingtian's side and said flatteringly, "I've seen that you guys have extraordinary skills and are different from ordinary people. They really belong to the five elements." A member of the family Fire King! I am so lucky! It's just that I, I, that, met Mr. Zhang... I'm afraid I..." Yan Jingtian said: "Oh! Needless to say, I understand what you mean. This time it's all up to Huo Xiaoxie to intercede for you, otherwise I won't spare you! You just take your buddy and go! In addition, you give me Remember, if you dare to talk nonsense about our affairs, you will be killed!" Shopkeeper Qian bowed like garlic, and said, "Thank you sirs, thank you sirs! When we see each other again in the future, I would like to do my best." While bowing, shopkeeper Qian retreated to Jia Chunzi, and took Jia Chunzi away. Chunzi pulled, and said in a low voice, "Let's go!" Jia Chunzi responded with a grunt, and the two pulled over the horse, turned on their feet, shook the reins, and galloped towards the south. Yan Jingtian saw that everyone who had to go was gone, only Shui Yaoer was left standing there with a blank expression, and he didn't dare to say anything to Shui Yaoer at this time, so he hurriedly ordered Yan Shouzhen and the others to continue setting up fire cones and get busy. Fourth master Zhang and his team chased after him closely, and they were only one mile away from where Yan Jingtian was. Fourth Master Zhang frantically whipped the horse and galloped away, but the horse galloped all night without a break, exhausted and foaming at the mouth.Fourth Master Zhang urged the whip again, the horse under his crotch couldn't stand it anymore, his front hooves gave way, and he fell forward with a thud.Fourth Master Zhang cursed, and just as the horse fell down, he jumped up from the horse's back, landed in front of him, rolled, and stood up unscathed. Few of the horses mounted by the hook soldiers behind Fourth Master Zhang can survive now.When the hook soldiers saw Fourth Master Zhang fall, they all tightened the reins and stopped the galloping horse.这些马从急奔到骤停，吃不住这个劲，刚刚停稳，就闷声嘶鸣，噗通噗通站立不稳，跌倒了好几匹。 张四爷走到自己的马匹身边，一拉缰绳想让马儿站起，可马儿奋力挣了挣，却怎么也站不起来。豹子犬喘着粗气，垂着舌头，它们和马儿一样，跑了一夜，也是累极，只能呼哧呼哧的用头拱了拱马背，呜呜低吼，想帮着张四爷让这匹马站起来，仍然是徒劳无功。 张四爷转头一看，身后二十多匹坐骑，已经横七竖八的倒了近一半。 张四爷一拍大腿，骂道：“这些劣马！” 周先生走过来说道：“张四爷，人能扛住，马是受不了了。恐怕我们没法再追了。” 张四爷虎着脸看着南方，一拍大腿，恨道：“就差了几里路就能追上！这不是又让他们跑了！” 周先生默然说道：“嚼子们也顶不住了，张四爷，咱们就地休息吧。” 张四爷叹道：“天不助我啊！天不助我！” 周先生说道：“只怕我们此行漫漫，绝不是一两个月的问题了。” 张四爷看着南方，咬牙道：“哪怕十年八年，我也认了！”张四爷转身招呼众钩子兵，“弟兄们，我们就地休息！再做打算！” 火小邪向西攀过两座小山头，已经距离严景天他们十分远了，才转了个方向，向北行去。这片丘陵地带，越向北山头就越高，火小邪顺着山顶走了一段，就看到下方有烟雾升起。 火小邪一看方位，似乎就是严景天从落马客栈出来，一路前行的道路方向。 火小邪又赶忙向前赶了一段山路，趴在一块大石后向下看去，果然在二里地开外的山脚大路边，有二十多人，围坐在路边生火烧烤着什么。看那个架势，正是张四爷他们一伙人。 火小邪缩回身子，惊道：“怎么他们没有追上去？还是他们已经抓住了严大哥他们？” 火小邪又探出头打量，看着张四爷他们只不过是在路边休整而已，这才放心下来，把自己的行李拢了拢，就要继续动身。 谁知火小邪身后有人冷冷的说话：“你就不怕被张四看到了？” 火小邪一惊之下，心中又猛然一喜，慢慢转头看去，只见水妖儿歪着头，靠在一棵树旁，面无表情，而水妖儿的眼睛，这时候却显得异常美艳，牢牢的盯着火小邪，微微的不断眨动。 火小邪不知是喜还是忧，只好轻轻说道：“水妖儿，怎么是你……” 水妖儿缓步走上两步，依旧冷冷的说道：“你认识回奉天的路吗？我看你这样子，别说回奉天了，恐怕过一会就能迷路，死在这山沟子里。” 火小邪笑了笑，说道：“有这人命贱，轻易死不了。” 水妖儿向前走了几步，站在火小邪身侧，并不看火小邪，淡淡说道：“你恨我害死了你的兄弟？” 火小邪并不回答，只是静静站着。 水妖儿说道：“我带你回奉天，帮你救出你的兄弟，你可以跟着我，也可以自己走！你看着办！”水妖儿说完，从火小邪身边走过，向一侧的山路走去。 火小邪转过身，看着水妖儿的背影，心中五味杂陈，轻轻叹了口气，紧追了几步，跟上水妖儿。火小邪在水妖儿的身后喊道：“水妖儿，你慢点走，我跟你回奉天。” 水妖儿停下脚步，低下了头，把脸偏向火小邪看不见的一侧，肩膀微微耸动。火小邪心中一惊，赶忙跳上前，拉住水妖儿的胳膊，急道：“水妖儿，你……” 水妖儿猛地噗哧一笑，把脸扬起来，竟是一副顽皮的样子，说道：“猴子猴子，你什么你，你以为我哭了？” 火小邪张口结舌，不知说什么才好。 水妖儿笑道：“猴子，你是不是喜欢我冷冰冰的样子？” 火小邪连连摆手：“不是，不是，水妖儿，你就不要戏弄我了……” 水妖儿哼道：“谁还喜欢戏弄你啊？少臭美了！不说了，走吧走吧！”说着蹦蹦跳跳向前走去。 火小邪哭笑不得，拿这个水妖儿一点办法都没有，只好快步跟上。 水妖儿似乎对这一带的山路十分熟悉，轻车熟路的带着火小邪翻身越岭。火小邪问了问，水妖儿说是自己父亲水王绘制过这一带的地图，她来奉天之前就已经熟记在心。至于严景天那边，水妖儿也略略说了。 原来水妖儿见火小邪走了，静了片刻之后，就与严景天道别，要去找火小邪一起回奉天。严景天想了想，也没有阻止，仅问了问水妖儿是否要把玲珑镜留给他们，以便引开张四爷他们。水妖儿并没有答应，就这样告别了众人，寻着火小邪而来，其实以水妖儿的身手，早就追上了火小邪，但她并没有马上上前，跟了火小邪一路，直到见火小邪打量山下的张四爷他们，才出来相见。 火小邪和水妖儿一路并不多言，火速赶路，仅路上歇了几次，入夜时分就已经赶到距奉天城还有近二百里的铜山镇。两人并未进入镇中，而是找了个破败无人的农舍歇息下来。 水妖儿让火小邪在房中等着她，自己独行而去，约莫过了一个时辰回来，提了一包衣物。水妖儿展开一套衣物，让火小邪换上，火小邪见衣物面料讲究，却不似新的，猜到定是水妖儿偷的。 火小邪做贼做惯了，没有觉得有什么不妥当的地方，把衣物换了，没想到十分合身，看着倒像是一个破落的富家公子。 水妖儿躲在一旁，淅淅簌簌的摆弄了半天，咳嗽一声走了出来。火小邪一见，噗哧笑了起来。只见水妖儿并不是女孩子的打扮，而是扮成了一个微微佝偻着背的小老头，一举一动十分逼真，根本看不出有什么破绽之处。 水妖儿瓮声瓮气，满嘴京城的官话口音，听着就是一个破落的满清贵族老头在讲话：“我的孙儿啊，你爷爷我这身打扮如何？” 火小邪笑骂道：“谁是你孙子！” 水妖儿一口老头的声音，骂道：“你这个不孝子孙，连你爷爷都不认了吗？” 火小邪咧了咧嘴，说道：“好了，水妖儿，不要逗了，你是打算我们用这个样子，混进奉天城去吗？” 水妖儿换了女声，呵呵一乐，说道：“那是当然，要不你想怎么办？孤男寡女的引人注意？” 火小邪抓了抓头，说道：“没错，没错。” 水妖儿又换成老头的声音：“猴子，我还要给你打扮一下，让人再也认不出你。从此你叫侯金贵，我则是你的爷爷侯尽仁。” 火小邪哼道：“姓啥不好，偏偏姓侯。总觉得你取的名字，处处占我的便宜。” 水妖儿走到火小邪身边，一把按住火小邪，笑骂道：“乖孙子，不要动，爷爷给你画画妆。” 火小邪叹了口气，只好坐下来仍凭水妖儿在自己脸上折腾起来。
